Renoir's small still-life paintings fall into two principal groups: bouquets of flowers in vases (mainly roses, anemones, and chrysanthemums) and clusters of fruit on tablecloths. Neither the bouquets nor the fruits are elaborately staged; they give the impression of everyday things that the painter happens to have on hand. Here we see a glowing orange, upright, with two leaves attached; two reclining lemons also have their stems and leaves. The broad wash of blue in the background could point to an analogy with bathers.
